In this post, you'll learn a bit about the status of Frameworks 5 and porting especially Plasma — that will be known as Plasma Workspaces 2, paying credit to its more convergent architecture."

Come on, get a new life!Sure, those Akonadi-Nepomuk failures are a big hassle, and basing a mail client on a non-functional database is plain stupid.Done and over.Switch off those buggers, learn to live with Thunderbird, and you might find the more recent KDEs quite suitable. At least here, I could not second your opinion of crash-friendliness. Not with 4.5 and onward.At least, I am a rather recent KDE convert, since it allows me to configure my desktop as I so desire with a lot of edge events and basically panel-less.

And while I was an Apple-advocat myself, recent developments at Apple would make me think thrice before throwing my money at them.YMMV.
